fo all whom it my concern:

Be it known that I, Jozias' Non'rniior, a, citizen of the United States, residingsi Hope-dale, in the rount', yA oi lVoi'eoster-anfl State of MasstichusbttsThilve inv-:filed an litof which the following descripiioiz, .in co nection with the accompanying dfaiviiigsj. s a. specification, like letters on the drawings The invention to be hereinafter-descrii relates to looms sind more particularly o'l carrier from the. source of supply "fo *die thread or looni elen'ients in ease siicli carrier fails to be properl7 placed in .the slii'itt'ze. These and othcr'fczitures of 'rheinvention will best1 be .inade clear from the following description and accompanying drawings of one form of means- `for carrying the ssrn-einlo eileet, it. being understood that the irivention isnot' limited to the details of strueture'liercin, but is defined in its true scope by the elaiiiis. A

In'the dra'\\iiigs:-Figure 1 is a top or i plan View showing sulieieiit of the filling ieplenishing side of the loom to make clear the association of the presentinvention :thereton; Fig. 2 is a section on the line 2 2, Fig. l.; Fig. 3 is :isectioii on the line 3--3, Fig. l; and Fig. 4 is a'vieiv similar to Fig. 3, slidrr.v ing :mnodiiied forni of parts.

The looni fra-une ina be of isiial -or de sired forni or characte having the breast beam 1, Fig. 1 from which 'projects the bracket 2, which., if desired, may furnish the supporting means for any preferred chars:- ter of filling transferring mechanism. in the present illustrationv the transferring carrier 3 from a source of supply to the shuitle 4 when the lay is approximately in iis front position, and mayeoinprise ai transferrer 5 mounted upon a rod F aii d noi'niall held inv raised position by a .spring 7, said FrLLiNGmE-PLENISBING Loon:

tiiinsferrer being inade operative to 'transfer :i filling carrier by mealus of the transverse shaft, 8 mounted in bearings El and lia-ving 5 Vthe :iiii l0 and spring l1; the construction.

being such that upon failure of filling from any cause; said ti'anii of mechanism will eff toot4 :i transfer of :i filling carrier from the.

source or supply to the sluit-tie, as Well niidersiood b r those sliiiledi-n the art. H desired, the transferring mechanism may be substaininlly as shown :ind'described in my :ipl'ilicatioii Ser. ho. MGB-OARM September 4, '1909, or ii may be of any other character, 65

and since its construction :ind operation are familiar io those killed ir. the Weaving art, further desoription and illustration are unneeessa'i'y. f i

"l`li e larlQ.' which may be of. usual eon- 7o struetidn. is provided Wiih a shuttle box 13 haring- :i front wall l-l, a rear'wall 15, a top plate 1(3', and a hinder i?, one wall of the shuillemix. preferably the bottom thereof, being slotted as at. -18 for the. passage of :i 7'5 lilliuor carrier as it is discharged' from the i' sluu'tle. These parts, :is well as the picker slick 1t), the picker 20, the cushion 21 and the binderiiger :'22 may be of usual or any. desired forni' or Character, thev general con` 80 struction of the parts thus far described being such that 'upon'indieation of filling failure from any cause, as usual, the filling repleuishin,\ r mechanism will be caused to act :is the lay beats up .and transfer :i filling carrier 3 from tlie'souree of supply to the shut- -tle l, flic filling carrier previously in the 4clothy is produced. It may sometimes hap- 'pen also that the fillingr carrier may n ot be properly placed in the shuttle by thetrans lelrer, either because the -sl'iuttle is not in proper position to rer-,vive the. carrier and have its head eno 24 engaged liv the holding Y r P From the general 'character of tliemea'ns described as a good` practical forni ol` the invention, it ivil be noted that upon ilie piel; of' die shuttle following fillingreplenishment die filling end leading trointhe slnitileavill pass between the paris "a and ltl ai i'ne front of ille siiiitlle box'andinav resi npon the support 232, and as the lay Vbeats np the filling end will rideozi the vin end, aier iii. l into the shuttle nox and yet is permitted to.

y teinplaies director over the iop of the shatbe thus directed ont o the path of' the picker and shuttle., either of which' vvoiild canse breakage of' tli filling end should it lie enga-.ged thereby. Thus the fillonce passing under ilie end is-prcvented from getting filling end tlc box and tile director,
